We introduced points on Carrot because we think shopping should be rewarding (the hint is in our name). Points are a way to earn rewards on Carrot, and are redeemable for gift cards at top brands! Carrot issues points to you when you take 3 key actions, but this could change in the future.
You earn points if:
- You make purchases at partner brands (designated by a coin next to their logo).
- You open the app to reveal the deals of the day.
- You invite friends to Carrot and they set up our plugins.

How do I get 10X points?
Getting into the 10X points club means you’ll get 1,000% more points on purchases than regular users. Enabling 10X points is easy and ensures that you maximize your earnings and rewards. All you have to do is install Carrot’s desktop and mobile plugins:
Get points for making purchases at partner brands
When visiting a partner site from Carrot’s app or when running a Deal Hop directly on a partner’s site, you will see offers to make purchases from that partner. Make sure you have our mobile plugin set up so you can see secret brand offers while you’re shopping on their site. If you choose to hit “Accept” on the offer, and if you then choose to purchase from that brand while Carrot’s cookie is still active in your browser, you will be credited points for your purchase after the waiting period is over.
Get points for inviting your friends
Invite your friends directly from the Carrot app and get credited 5,000 points each when they turn on Carrot’s desktop and mobile plugins. Note: Carrot monitors accounts and traffic for scam sign ups, if we determine that sign ups aren’t real users with real usage, we reserve the right not to credit the points. We want to encourage organic growth of our network that is rewarding to our users, and thousands of users have benefitted from this, we hope you will too!
Get points for revealing daily deals
Come into the app daily to reveal the deals of the day and instantly be issued 5 points per reveal. We find great items that are deeply discounted and feature multiple per day. These deals disappear, so don’t miss out!
When do points get issued?
For in-app actions like revealing deals, points will be issued instantly. If you are inviting your friends to Carrot, points will be issued when they enable our plugins. If you are making points-eligible purchases from partner brands, points will be issued to you once the brand’s waiting period is over. Every brand has different waiting periods that could last between 30-90 days. Brand have these waiting periods to make room for product returns; in the event of a return, your points will no longer be issuable. After the brand’s waiting period ends, your points will be issued to your wallet, which is accessible in the Carrot mobile app.
Why don’t I see my points?
Points for purchases get issued to you after a brand’s waiting period has completed. This can take between 30-90 days, and on some occasions it might take longer depending on the product’s return policy. Once a brand has confirmed your transaction, our systems will automatically credit the points to your account.
If you accept points on a brand’s site, but then tap on another app (example: a coupon app to apply coupons or cash back) or use Buy Now Pay Later products like Klarna or Paypal at checkout, Carrot will no longer be able to credit you points for your purchase. Using third party apps after accepting points on Carrot will result in Carrot losing attribution to your purchase, and that attribution will be transferred to whatever app or plugin you used last before making your purchase. We recommend making sure that Carrot is the last app you tap on and use in your browser before making your ourchase so that you retain your earnings!
If you’ve invited friends to Carrot, your points will automatically show once your friends have installed the mobile and desktop plugins for Carrot; it’s important that they set up both plugins for your points to be issued. A reminder to your friends, or a little assist to help them get set up correctly will guarantee that they’ve joined Carrot correctly.
How can I redeem my points?
Once your account has a minimum of 25,000 points, you will be able to redeem it for a gift card at a number of top brands! We cannot issue gift cards under $25 because of brand minimums, but this might change in the future.
